After hearing this, I watched a ton of old Giant Bomb videos with Ryan Davis including That Ain't No Game. It was one of my favorite series on Giant Bomb, and Ryan contributed thoroughly to its excellence.
He was so funny and so intelligent. Hearing the guys' memories of Ryan..it was just as heart-wrenching as it was respectful.
Ryan Davis...RIP
Funny, because you can in fact play video games on a Wii U. By your logic, the original Playstation is so underpowered compared to today's consoles that it is not a gaming system.
I've heard some folks say that Nintendo should go third-party and make software for other consoles, but from what you're saying, it seems like you find no value from Nintendo whatsoever, so they should cease to exist entirely. That's a brand new level of crap.
That was the shortest Nintendo-related internet meltdown I've ever seen.
Yeah, this response doesn't necessarily coincide with the previous story about Wii U development.
Okay, I will go to my local game store and buy a copy of Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube, a video game from two generations ago that has been out of print for years. Buying this used game from a second-hand market will allow me to give all that money to Nintendo directly, while the company continues to make decisions like this without any explanation or legitimate justification of their actions.
Thanks for contributing.
A lot of the people commenting on Shoryuken who are okay with this news are the ones who say Smash Bros. isn't a fighting game.
I didn't see anything in your post that warranted disagrees, but...well...whatever other folks want to think, I guess.
A new IP or two would be great.
They aren't. Waiting for new games in those franchises is what sucks.
Not true. Look at Activision. With Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero, they've killed two enormous franchises by doing the same thing over and over. At this rate, Call of Duty is on its way out too.
Nintendo needs to freshen up many of their franchises and try some new ideas, that's perfectly clear, but Nintendo isn't saturating the market with Pikmin.
There is an E.T. game reference in this Google Doodle.
All things considered, the fact that Nintendo isn't laying any employees off is pretty admirable.
Art shouldn't be defined by any one person. The fact that so many people took Ebert's opinion so seriously (regardless of whether or not they agree or disagree with him) shows the misdirection that the community had in the argument. Ebert wasn't the judge here, since he admitted himself that he hadn't played video games that much anyway. I don't know about you, but if you haven't played video games, then you shouldn't be making such big judgments on them.

Troy Baker has been in the anime voice acting business for a long time before hitting it big in game voice acting. Good to see the guy getting some recognition, because, like you said PopRocks, they're talented people.
I'm kind of tired of hearing about these Android gaming consoles, but if any company can make a good one, it's Google themselves. It all depends on the software, though.
Right. I believe that you can give any game whatever score you want as long as you can back it up with good, convincing evidence for your argument. I didn't see much of that here.
The fact that this author was constantly referencing three other games in comparison to The Last of Us (all three being very different games to compare The Last of Us to) shows that the focus wasn't on the game itself. You can compare a game to another if you want, but at least keep them in ...
Wow, that's a lot of indie support. I heard that Oddworld: New n' Tasty was coming to the eShop but Stranger's Wrath HD too? That's a great one to note.
I never played this on Wii, but I always wanted to. Having such a great-looking game on a handheld system looks to be a winning move.
You're really going to start this "powerful hardware is better hardware" argument? Really? This argument that has been instantly proved invalid after the success of the Wii against the 360/PS3 AND the 3DS against the Vita? Hell, it's been proven invalid back in the days of the Game Boy.
Having strong hardware is a great thing and it's a good reason to be excited for the upcoming next-gen consoles, but it's not the most important thing ever. Games are...
I believe that the internet needs a place for gaming-related satire in the vein of The Onion. It's not like there's not enough news fodder to parody.
This one wasn't bad, though I honestly expected something like "'Pachter will predict a prediction' predicts Pachter."
